Finding Felkin The Outcast

Felkin is located at the very beginning of Huntsman's Corpse, before the first bonfire. You will need a base of 8 Faith and Intelligence in order to gain access to him. If you have 20 Faith or Intelligence, he will also give you the Hexer Set and Sunset Staff.

Finding Licia of Lindelt

Licia is first found in the Tower Of Flames after the regular Dragonrider. After exhausting her dialogue, she will move back to Majula at the device that unlocks the Huntsman's corpse on the way to Heide's Tower Of Flames.

Finding Straid of Olaphis

Initially he is petrified, surrounded by five rupturing hollows that deal physical damage. A Fragrant Branch of Yore is required to cure him.

Defeating Elana, the Squalid Queen ("Crown Of The Sunken King" DLC)

When the battle starts, rush Elana and inflict as much damage as possible before she is able to react. Besides her skeleton summons, she can use flame attacks and a spear at close range. After the skeletons spawn, back up to avoid an ambush. You can ignore them unless they charge you. While attacking Elana, you will also be hitting the skeletons. Keep moving to avoid Elana's ranged flame spells and move toward her. If you can remain behind her while you attack, you can avoid most of her damage and some of the skeletons. Elana will occasionally teleport, then usually cast another spell when she reappears. Due to the length of her casting time, you can get one or two free hits before dodging the spell. Stay focused on Elana's back and continuously move to avoid her spells and attacks. You will be rewarded with the Soul of Elana, the Squalid Queen for defeating her. The large dragon door behind her will then open. Enter it to find a bonfire and mist doorway that leads to Sinh, the Slumbering Dragon.

Defeating Executioner's Chariot

Kill the first Necromancer enemy and any nearby skeletons in the arena. Remain in the door area, and cast Affinity. It will hit the chariot as it drives past. Repeat this process to defeat the Executioner's Chariot boss without moving further into the area or lowering the gate.

When the battle starts, attack Sinh's feet. When he flies into the air, remain underneath or directly behind him to avoid his fire breath. Make sure to get out of the way when he lands if you are directly beneath him to avoid damage. Attack again as soon as he returns to the ground. If Sinh flies away from you, prepare to counter his dive attack. Do this by remaining in motion or rolling out of the way. When Sinh stands on his hind legs, he will breathe fire directly in front of him. While in this position, run toward him and attack his legs or tail. While attacking Sinh's legs, remain moving as soon as he is done with his current attack. While attacking his tail from behind, make sure to roll out of the way if he suddenly spins around. Keep moving in to attack while he is preparing a lengthy attack, then dodge when the attack is ready. You will be rewarded with the Soul of Sinh, the Slumbering Dragon for defeating him. You can also find the Crown of the Sunken King and Yorgh's Ring in the room.

Defeating The Pursuer

Shoot him with one of the Ballista set-pieces in his arena. The aiming will be difficult, but a single shot will take out almost all his health.

Easy "Covenant Of Ancients" achievement

Find the covenant leader, Magerold of Lanafir, at Iron Keep. He is located just inside the fortress from the first bonfire. You will have to give him the Petrified Egg, which is located in the Dragon Shrine. Once there, go up the steps, and kill the shield-wielding knight. Proceed until you reach two knights in front of a door, with a faith caster on the tower behind you. Do not enter the door; instead get inside the alcove to the left to reach a spiral staircase and become invaded by Dragonfang Villard. The Petrified Egg is behind him. Return to Iron Keep after getting the egg, and give it to Magerold. He will now ask you to join the covenant, and you will get the "Covenant Of Ancients" achievement.

Easy "Gathering Of Exiles" achievement

You must relocate the following six NPCs to get the "Gathering Of Exiles" achievement. Afterwards, talk to Crestfallen Warrior Saulden to get rewards based on how many NPCs you have relocated to keep him company.

Merchant Hag Melentia: She is found at Forest Of Fallen Giants at the Cardinal Tower bonfire. After defeating the Last Giant and exhausting her dialogue, she will relocate to Majula. She is found sitting next to the wall.

Cartographer Cale: He is found at Forest Of Fallen Giants. After the fog gate past the Cardinal Tower bonfire, you will find a giant root. Jump off to the right, then jump off the roof and onto the wooden scaffolding. Enter the cave to find Cale at the top, digging into the ground. Exhaust his dialogue to get the House Key, then return to Majula, and kill the skeleton in the basement. Return to Cale, and exhaust his dialogue to get him to relocate to the map with flames.

Carhillion Of The Fold: He is found at No Man's Wharf, just before the ship. You can move across to the right and up the wooden pier. He will be sitting down. You will need at least a base of 8 Intelligence to talk to him and get him to move. After you exhaust his dialogue, he will move to Majula. You also will no longer require 8 Intelligence to buy from him for the rest of the game.

Stone Trader Chloanne: She is found at Harvest Valley, just after the first bonfire. Exhaust her dialogue, and she will move to Majula.

Laddersmith Gilligan: He is found at Earthen Peak. After the second bonfire, go up the stairs and out the door. Hit the wooden fence to break it, and move to the left along the ledge to meet Gilligan. You can pay 2,000 souls for a ladder to get the Twinkling Titanite, if desired. Exhaust his dialogue, and he will move to Majula. Alternatively, defeat the area Boss to get him to relocate there.

Rosabeth Of Melfia: She is found at Shaded Woods. She is petrified at the entrance. A Fragrant Branch Of Yore is required to heal her. One can be found at the bottom of The Gutter as well as in Harvest Valley. Free her and give her any one piece of equipment. She will then relocate to Majula. Note: Before pulling the lever, rest at the bonfire so that she moves before you get swarmed and she accidentally gets killed.

Easy "Holder Of The Fort" achievement

Note: You must first have the Ashen Mist Heart from Dragon Shrine. Find Captain Drummond on the ground in the Memory Of Vammar. You can access this memory, near Mild-Mannered Pate's trap in Forest Of Fallen Giants on the other side of the wall, with the Ashen Mist Heart. You must defeat the Giant Lord to inherit his equipment. The Giant Lord is found in the Memory Of Jeigh. To find it, go to the Cardinal Tower bonfire, then climb down the ladder. Cross the bridge, then enter the door and go left to find the King's Gate and the final bonfire of the area. Behind it is the Memory Of Jeigh. Sprint through the area, and ignore the other giants, but watch the falling flames. Stand near the Giant Lord's feet, and dodge as needed until he dies. After defeating the Giant Lord, return to Drummond. Exhaust his dialogue to get his equipment and the "Holder Of The Fort" achievement.

Easy "Selfless Giver" achievement

Reach Rank 3 in one of the nine available covenants. Heirs Of The Sun is possibly the easiest covenant to level up in because you only need 30 Sunlight Medals. There are two easy ways to get Sunlight Medals; either win a Boss fight with a Heirs Of The Sun character, or play as a Heirs Of The Sun character yourself and assist another world host. Use an easy to defeat Boss, and keep your sign before the fog gate.

Easy "Vendrick" achievement

King Vendrick is found in the Undead Crypt when Velstadt has been defeated. Vendrick will ignore you, giving you a chance to first collect the King's Ring. Use heavy attacks (for example, Lightning Spear) until he begins attacking you. A fog door will block your exit until the battle is over. If you choose not to fight him and return later, the fog door will still be there, and you will be forced to fight him immediately. However, if you fight Vendrick directly after defeating Velstadt without leaving, he will be weaker. Vendrick usually has 32 times his defensive stats, but for each Soul of a Giant in your inventory his stats will be halved (32, 16, 8, 4, 2, or 1 times, if you have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 souls). Vendrick attacks very quickly and does a large amount of damage that will break your stance if you attempt to block them. To defeat him, run in as close as possible and circle him to the right. He attacks more frequently from the left with swipes. Using magic or miracles is not recommended as his attacks are faster than your casting time.
